The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 11 Offense
As soon as the sound came out, the horse owner and the men took two steps back, looking at Lin Wenjing and Lin Zisu with suspicion on their faces.

Everyone looked towards the place where the voice came out, and saw a young man outside the crowd wearing a gold silk robe and wearing a golden crown to tie his hair. At first glance, he was dressed like a rich man, and he was followed by two long followers in blue.

This young man was Zhao Shixun, the third son of the Changping Uncle's Mansion, whom Lin Zisu had met a few days ago.

Seeing Zhao Shixun's extraordinary demeanor, people gave way to him one after another. Zhao Shixun came to Lin Zisu's side with a salivating smile, and ordered a long entourage behind him to say, "You go to the North City Military Division and invite Deputy Commander Xu to come over, just say Ma There is a situation in the city."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shixun looked up at the sun in the sky, then stopped the chief attendant and said, "Deputy Commander Xu probably hasn't left the house yet, so you should go to the Princess's mansion quickly, and tell him not to come again when you see him." But there is no chance."

Lin Zisu originally wanted to try how much of her kung fu in her previous life was still there, but Zhao Shixun naturally lost the chance to make a move because of Zhao Shixun's disturbance, feeling secretly bored in her heart, she said coldly to the horse owner: "Hey, my money Are you going to accept it or not?"

According to the Dayan system, all the sons of the clan lords who are over 15 years old and have no official position can go to the Wucheng Army and Marshal to get a false job experience. Therefore, it is common for this group of princes to bully others and bully the market.

This Zhao Shixun has been swaggering around the market all day, and the owner of the horse is quite familiar. Hearing him say that Lin Zisu is a "noble man", and seeing that he sent someone to invite the deputy commander of the Beicheng Military Division, he was frightened and knelt down He begged for mercy and said: "Miss, please spare the little one this time, then you will take the horse away, and the little one will go home tomorrow... no no... the little one will go home right now." , took the boy's deed of sale and sent it to the mansion."

Lin Zisu saw that the horse owner had given in, and discussed with Lin Wenjing for a few words. The brother and sister had the same idea, and they all smiled.

So in the sound of the horse owner begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother, Lin Wenjing forced the horse owner 30 taels of silver, and after explaining the location of Uncle Kangning's mansion, he ordered Wang Shiliang to lead the horse and leave together.

Zhao Shixun followed behind Lin Zisu, and said with a flattering smile, "Miss Lin is so kind just now, I am really ashamed of myself."

Lin Zisu was afraid of being entangled by this group of dudes again, so he just walked forward with Lin Wenjing, Zhao Shixun said again: "Miss Lin is going to buy a horse for her family? I know a thing or two about horses. I can palm the girl's eyes."

My younger sister is still young, and this son has been pestering my younger sister, it's really outrageous!

Lin Wenjing stopped in his tracks, bowed to Zhao Shixun and said, "Thank you for your help, young master, but since we met by chance, there is no need to bother young master from now on."

Zhao Shixun was stunned for a moment, the person he reported hadn't come back yet, if Lin Zisu were to leave, it would be the end of it!
Zhao Shixun said urgently: "That's not what you said. Youdao means that everyone in the world is brothers. No one in the world knows the king. It doesn't matter if we meet by chance. If you come and go, you will know each other."

He spent a lot of time talking, but the Lin brothers and sisters still walked forward indifferently.

The spring breeze at the end of February was still a bit chilly, but Zhao Shixun was sweating profusely, and he was already a little unscrupulous, but fortunately, there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance, which made him calm down.

Riding horses is prohibited in Beijing, and those who can ride horses in the downtown area are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries, or people in the government.

After a while of flying and jumping, Zhao Shixun saw who was coming, and his brows were brimming with joy, and he shouted loudly: "Big Brother! Big Brother! You've come!"

"Miss Lin, how are you doing recently?"

Xu Wentao got off his horse and saluted Lin Zisu. It was rare for Zhao Shixun to see Xu Wentao being polite. His mind was a little dull. His brother Xu had always been careless, why did he seem like a different person?
Not only Zhao Shixun, but also Lin Zisu didn't turn the corner for a moment.

In the previous life, Xu Wentao was famously fierce and domineering in the capital. With the power of King Dun and the backing of Princess Yong'an, no matter if he was a prince or a nobleman, he would entangle him endlessly if there was any disagreement.

Later, the soldiers were still hot-tempered when they were outside, and the surrounding tribes couldn't bear the bullying, so they complained to Xie Yao every year.

It is not a good thing for a violent and domineering person to suddenly change his temper in front of him.

Is this Xu Wentao's other side today, or is he deliberately pretending to be in front of him?
Seeing that Lin Zisu seemed to turn a blind eye to him, Xu Wentao thought that Lin Zisu was frightened, so he wanted to express this anger on her behalf, and said to Zhao Shixun, "I heard that someone offended Miss Lin, this person, Jingzhao Mansion can help you!" Have you ever been arrested?"

Zhao Shixun was a little dumbfounded, he didn't ask him to pick up the prisoner, so he said bravely, "Brother Xu, the weather is so good today, so Jingzhao Mansion doesn't need to come here."

Xu Wentao seemed to understand what he said, patted him on the shoulder, nodded and said: "You are right, but we cannot let the Jingzhao Mansion steal the limelight from this commander."

As he spoke, he waved to the young masters who came with him, and said: "I heard that there are some people doing evil things in this horse market, so let Mr. Zhao go and identify them, and you can take them as he pleases."

Zhao Shixun was a little helpless, he simply pointed to Lin Zisu and said in a low voice, "Brother Xu, the business is important. It is the business of the Jingzhao Mansion to get people. It's not good for us to do it for us."

Zhao Shixun thought he had already given enough hints, but Xu Wentao didn't see him at all.

Xu Wentao said impassionedly, "If you do evil in broad daylight, you are a thief, and it is the task of the Wucheng soldiers and horses to arrest and punish the criminals."

Listening to the conversation between these two people, Lin Zisu frowned unconsciously, and said, "The two young masters have official duties, so the young lady will leave here."

It turned out that Miss Lin was not frightened, so Xu Wentao came to his senses and heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at the sickly bay red horse behind Lin Wenjing, and said with a smile, "Miss Lin wants to buy a horse." Horses? This is my forte."

"We brothers and sisters wander around at will, so don't bother me."

Lin Zisu immediately rejected Xu Wentao.

"Ningyuan horses in the north are tall and majestic, running fast, suitable for Mr. Lin to ride, and short-footed horses in the south are steady and gentle, and small, they are most suitable for girls to ride."

Xu Wentao nonchalantly ordered the long attendants behind him, "Night Breeze, go to the mansion and choose two good pony horses, and send them to Uncle Kangning's mansion."

It turned out that the appearance of a modest gentleman just now was just a disguise. Did this group of people entangle themselves?Lin Zisu was a bit big-headed, and hurriedly stopped Xu Wentao and said, "I don't want to be rewarded for nothing. I dare not want your horse. If you really want to, you can choose a horse with us."

Xu Wentao was overjoyed immediately, he put his arms around Lin Wenjing's shoulders and walked forward. Lin Wenjing had never been so close to anyone before, and looked at Lin Zisu with an embarrassed expression.

Lin Zisu saw her brother's embarrassment, although she couldn't understand Xu Wentao, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, only to hear Xu Wentao say: "Mr. Move around."

Lin Wenjing and Xu Wentao walked in front, Xu Wentao kept talking, from age to hobbies, from the south to the north.

Zhao Shixun followed Xu Wentao, listening to Xu Wentao's babbling, he made no secret of his disgust, when did his boss become such a mother-in-law!
Now that someone else did the work, Lin Zisu took the time to inquire about Wang Shiliang's background.

This Wang Shiliang's real name is Wang Qingsheng, a native of the suburbs of Beijing. He was given to a neighbor by his parents for foster care since he was a child.The adoptive father was originally a talented scholar in the village. Due to the severe drought in the capital last year, both the adoptive parents died of the drought.

Lin Zisu remembered that there was a shortage of servants at home, and Wang Qingsheng was honest and simple, so he could keep him as his brother's long-term follower.

Xu Wentao's skill in selecting horses is really extraordinary, and he knows the horse market well. While Lin Zisu was talking with Wang Shiliang, Xu Wentao chose a horse for Lin Wenjing and Lin Zisu each, including the saddle, whip, rein, etc. I chose them together.

After everything was ready, Xu Wentao volunteered to send the two of them home. He always looked for opportunities to chat with Lin Zisu along the way. After going around and around, it was almost noon before the two brothers and sisters were sent to the door by Xu Wentao.

Lin Wenjing very politely invited Xu Wentao to come and sit down for a while, but this time Xu Wentao was quite measured, saying something like "it's disrespectful to come to the door rashly", so he rode away.

Wang Qingsheng's body deed had been delivered to the mansion long ago, but Bi Shi was still at a loss. After Lin Zisu explained it, he finally understood it.

Mrs. Bi felt sorry for the money, but since her daughter had already spent the money, since Wang Qingsheng had a poor background and Lin Wenjing also lacked a long-term follower, she reluctantly agreed.

There are only about [-] people in Kangningbo's mansion together with the servants, and there are several vacant courtyards in the backyard.

In order to develop carpentry, the two brothers and sisters specially built a large yard behind Lin Wenjing's yard and named it "Tiangongyuan". Lin Zisu used to practice riding.

Lin Zisu was proficient at bowing horses in her previous life. Since she became a queen, she has never touched a horse bowing again in consideration of the queen's majesty.

For the rest of the day, Lin Zisu stayed at home in the backyard to "learn" horseback riding, and took out a crude little bow from the utility room, and "learned" archery along the way.

Maybe it's because he was confined for too long in his previous life. Lin Zisu was looking forward to this rare opportunity for outing. In the early morning of the third day of March, Lin Zisu called Lin Wenjing and rushed to the west gate of the capital impatiently. .

Lin Zisu had a little accident when she went out. She wanted to go out on horseback, but Mrs. Bi refused to allow her. After Mrs. Bi's earnest persuasion, she had to wear a lavender riding outfit and sit in the carriage with Amber , let her white pony follow behind the carriage.

Princess Yong'an wrote on the invitation that it was Sishi to gather, and Lin Zisu arrived at the west gate of the city just after a quarter of an hour.

She opened a corner of the curtain, and saw three carriages and several horses waiting beside the official road outside the city gate, and several sons of several families nodded their heads when they saw Lin Wenjing.

Although Lin Wenjing was not very familiar with these people, he also returned the salutes one by one.

After another moment, more and more people came, the carriages were lined up on the side of the official road, and the familiar families got together to greet each other and chat, and the scene suddenly became bustling.

Lin Zisu rested her right hand in the carriage, with a pensive expression on her face, and seemed to be deaf to the noise outside the carriage. Amber looked at her lady's beautiful profile with a slightly sad expression, and asked tentatively, "Miss, is it better to go out early in the morning?" I'm happy, but what's wrong?"

"It's a good thing to be able to go out for an outing, but it's not fun to be tricked by others"

Lin Zisu tilted her head and said with a depressed face.

Hearing what Lin Zisu said, Amber opened her mouth in surprise, "Miss, did you think too much? This outing was invited by Princess Yong'an, who dares to plot against Miss?"

Lin Zisu smiled helplessly, recalling what happened in the past few days. First, she met Liang Mingtai at the flower viewing party, and then met Xu Wentao at the horse market. The princess is Xu Wentao's mother.

Everything happens for a reason, there are not so many coincidences in the world, what exactly does this group of people want to do?
Thinking of the group of King Dun and Xu Wentao, Lin Zisu couldn't help feeling dizzy. In her previous life, she met inhumane people. Fortunately, God was merciful and gave her a chance to be reborn.

Originally, she wanted to spend this life peacefully and beautifully, but somehow she became entangled with these playboys.

Thinking about the impulsiveness outside Zhuangzi that day, Lin Zisu regretted it a little. If she had given the pearl flower to Xie Xi obediently, wouldn't there be so many troubles?
While Lin Zisu was waiting outside the west gate, Princess Yong'an had already left the Princess Mansion and was also rushing here.

In the princess's carriage, Xu Wentao was laughing and holding a cup of tea and handing it to Princess Yong'an, while his younger sister Xu Fangruo was huddled in the corner of the carriage and quietly reading a book, as if today's outing had nothing to do with her.

"Thank you mother for helping my son. I will entrust you with all the important matters in my son's life."

How could I have such a son!
Princess Yong'an rubbed her brows, with a helpless expression on her face, "Brother Tao, I don't care how much you mess around in the capital on weekdays, but this marriage must not be a joke. How can you be like you and meet a girl? Just clamoring to marry someone to come in."

"Mother, what you said is wrong. Didn't the big cousin of Nankang and her cousin get married after only seeing each other, and it is still a good story in Beijing?"

Xu Wentao said nonchalantly.

"Nankang was a marriage bestowed by the emperor"

Princess Yong'an lightly poked Xu Wentao's forehead with her finger, "If the emperor can grant you a marriage, I won't have a headache."

"Mother, look at what you said, now that my eldest brother is married and has a child, apart from my sister and me, what other things can give you a headache?"

"If I knew you were so caring, I would have gone to this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet. I heard that this girl's background is a bit low, but she's talented?"

Thinking of the news that people have inquired about in the past few days, Princess Yong'an suppressed her smile, and said earnestly: "Mother can make an agreement with you for three chapters, if after a while Mother looks okay, then it's up to you, let's make a decision first." After getting married, just ask her to be your concubine in the future. If mother doesn't like it, then let's let this matter go, and don't mention it again in the future. "
